WiiNintendo Review - “Wii-ID” July 31, 2008
Basically, this is a new way to “skin” your Wii Remote. Wii-ID, comes with a battery cover with a clear window in it. Within the Wii-ID package you’ll also find 18 pre-made “inserts”, you’ll also find a template that will allow you to print out and cut your own imagery/graphics to put into the Wii Remotes battery cover window. You can see the designs they provide below:
The designs range from techy to humor. I’m sure the variety will fit most needs, but for me I’d most likely make my own design or maybe just a print out of my Mii.
I also like the look when there is nothing at all and you can just see the batteries, it would be cool to take a photo of the Wii Remote’s batteries then put edit the photo so the batteries have some sort of design on them, it would look as if your looking through clear plastic, but it would be your print.
Or take a photo of you’re Wii Remote without batteries, print that out and put it into the Wii-ID slip, then you can trick your family and friends that you have a new Wii Remote that doesn’t need batteries… Get all David Blaine on their asses.
I only had one little grip about the Wii-ID, I found it hard to remove once it was on the Wii Remote, maybe it just needed a little TLC or to be broken in more, no biggie.
Bottom line: If you like to customize, this is a cheap fun way to make your Wii Remote unique. This in combination with a Wii Remote skin will really show how creative, cool, and rad you are.
Can’t beat the price, $7.99, order here
From Total Console:
The Wiimote is a smart device, allowing you to carry your “Mii” on the go, and use it at a friends house. But, all wiimotes look the same. Enter the wiiID. The WiiID includes a custom battery cover with a clear window in it, and 8 different templates that you can put behind the window so you can easily tell your wiimote apart from everyone else’s.
The WiiID is practical and entertaining at the same time, as you can put funny pictures inside your wiimote (like rusty gears, or an ear of corn) making your wiimote unique and fun.
Of course, you can also make your own template simply by printing your favorite photo on your printer, and cutting it to the appropriate size.
Let your wiimote join the party, with the wiiID.
